Dallas '68 GT/CS on eBay

Is the tail light panel on this car a repro?

I like the car, but I think I would have just gone with a retractable antenna instead of the the rectangular, 1969-70 style, mast antenna for the rear quarter panel.

Anything particular about the rear panel? I received a repop one with my GT/CS project. Need a picture or measurement?

Are the metal clips under the fog light posts the ones that are supposed to be under the stone guard? I don't care for the antenna on the rear quarter. Deluxe interior with no door pulls and standard arm rests. If your going to change it, do it all. My .02.

It looks to me like the gas cap is recessed too far and the panel around the cap and trunk lock is not properly rolled.

It also has the GT gas cap and rear valance that I thought were only available on GT packaged cars with a minimum 302 motor. This is a "C" code.

Nice looking. A Marti would help. Looks like factory A/C (dash registers, HD radiator, correct heater/water valve), but no A/C compressor, condensor, drier. As far as the Deluxe interior, I put it in my convert and plan on doing it to my C/S. I opted to not install the Deluxe armrests - they look too big & bulky to me (MHO). The door pull straps would add a nice touch, as well as the medalion that should be above the glove box. I like the dual exhaust setup - I added it to mine. I think it looks & sounds better. Don't quite understand the recessed fuel cap. The edges of the panel seem to line up flush with the 1/4 extensions & deck lid.
Regardless, it's a handsome car that someone could enjoy.

Could you get power disk brakes on a 289?

Yes you could.

Also notice how the left side of the left taillight lens sticks out past the panel.

IMO anyone bidding on this car had better take a good long look at it.

ETA:
Hmmm, I thought it could have been one of those early cars with the messed-up gas cap / taillight panel issue, but this car has the later rear reflectors.

Here is a picture of an early car with the recessed gas cap.


Paul, or anyone else, please chime in if I'm posting incorrect information.

The back panel is from a shelby and the gas cap is not from a GT/CS as it is off a regular GT. I may be mistaken, but I believe even the GT/CS cars that were actually GT's used the special gas cap that was designed solely for the GT/CS and not the GT gas cap. I have seen several cars with that back panel, but I believe they are all after market additions.
